From the Mouth of Children

Abstract

This paper aims to study how Sui Sin Far, a pioneer Chinese American writer, disruptsthe hierarchy power in her children’ tale, “The Banishment of Ming and Mai.”   In this story, Sui Sin Far develops storytelling to have her readers involve in her work; her readers become her listeners and then become more active, more sensitive, and more open to change their thought. In this way, through her children’ tale, Sui Sin Far can inculcate children with ideas about human relationship: no boundaries among races.
